Hello Everyone, Does anyone have experience, good or bad, with the cam follower bearings that are used in K0XG guy rings? I have four rings, and all of the bearings spin freely. Nevertheless, the tim
I have 7 rotator rings on Rohn65. What I learned was to check all of the assembly items - I had bottomed out bolts, loose bolts, missing lockwashers, incorrect cam follower diameters, etc. The design
Hi Jim and others who may need the following info. I speak with experience. I have some rings for 55G and a tower project that has been in the works with setbacks due to hurricanes and other storms,
Hello Ed et al., Thanks for the great info. The engineering data from McGill is extraordinarily helpful. I believe that the bearings in my rings are McGill CCFH 1 1/2 SB. From the engineering data bo
Jim, They are sealed and assume made to last for a long time running at high speed in other applications. I dont know but would assume in this light duty application they would last a lifetime. You c
This is a common misconception! One major issue in low speed, intermittent use bearings is that the grease gets moved out from under the balls (rollers if roller bearings), and shock/vibration starts
Charlie is correct. This is why a rotator should be moved on a regular basis so the balls move enough to replenish the grease between the ball and race. The damage is quite obvious in SK owned rotato
